Beautiful Venue for the Beautiful Game: What a spectacular course to call home if you're an organizer of this event. Minnehaha Country Club dates back to 1905, and is a beautiful venue for such a big and broad reaching event.

The Impact of the Tournament: Charitable giving is just one of many positive impacts of the Sanford International Golf Tournament. Per the official website:

In 2021, Sanford International presented by First PREMIER and Mastercard raised over $220,000 for local charities and organizations. Generating nearly double then what was raised in 2019 and 2020 – despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2018, the tournament has given back more than $750,000 in charitable contributions and has had an annual economic impact of over $20,000,000 for the Sioux Falls area.

It's an amazing event that is sure to draw large crowds from near and far to the Sioux Empire this weekend.

Personally, it will be my first time out at the event since moving to Sioux Falls, and I can't wait to soak up all of the action, and enjoy the event that features marquee golfers and is a great way to positively impact our community.
